Mental Work Of Women.

| am, Of course. aware that there is
a small section of the public-com s.

to the artificial restraints imposed up
on them by all traditional form of ed
ucation; that if we would sudd emily
make leap of progress in this re-
spect, and allow women everywhere to
compete on fair and equal terms with
men, then, uudered these altered cir
cumstanccs of social life, women would
prove themselves the intelecual peers

Figure is device which restrains
the COW, without intlicting pain. A
hard wood stick of suitable length, ac-
cording to the size of the COW, is
pierced with a round hole at the upper
end, through which a rope is passed,
fastening it to the cows horns An
inch or two from the lower end slot is
cut wide enough for surcingle, which
is slipped through the slot, and buckled
around the COW. This permits her to
move her head up and down freely. but
keeps her from turning it far enough
